The American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) and Lamar University announced March 15 that they have renewed their agreement to partner in the delivery of advanced education to future port industry leaders through La-mar's fully online Master of Science in port and terminal management. The agreement updates and renews a memorandum of understanding initially entered in June 2016. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., AAPA is the unified voice of the seaport industry in the Americas, representing more than 130 public port authorities in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean and Latin America. AAPA's Profession- al Development Board, chaired by Noel Hacegaba, deputy executive director of the Port of Long Beach, led the initiative for the association. "Lamar University's Center for Port Management fulfills our industry's longstanding dream of having an academic venue to gain both the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to successfully prepare the next generation of port leaders," Hacegaba said. |
